SPORTING.
G. D. 3148. LADY ATHLETE. Price, $53.64.
Approximate Length, 447 feet.
A very pleasing subject. Many demonstrations of the art of Jiu Jitsu are given, and as evidence that this is not a passing fad intended only for the amusement of the public there is illustrated in very thrilling manner how several footpads follow two girls and then in a deserted section of the road make an attack, which is successfully foiled and the perpetrators taken into custody. Splendid action and good photographic quality.
Cf. D. 524. CAMBRIDGE -HARVARD PRACTICE. Price, $55.80.
Approximate Length, 465 feet.
This subject presents in a detailed manner the practice drill of both the Cambridge and Harvard boat crews. The scenes show in the regular order the men carrying the boat from the shed and putting it into the water; their return for the oars; the order in which they assume their positions in the boat; the start, the run, and the return over the entire course. Also a large view of each member of the crew, as, in returning the boat to the shed, they pass the camera at close range. The practice drill of each team is separately given, and will no doubt prove interesting and fascinating to everybody.
SCENIC.
G. D. 1555. WINTER IN SWITZERLAND. Price, $56.04.
Approximate Length, 467 feet.
This is a very beautiful and interesting series of pictures, depicting very accurately the scenes and conditions, methods of transportation, style of dress, and sports of winter in the picturesque country of Switzerland. The snow, as it softly filters to the already covered ground, or as it is spread over mountain and forest, enhances the already beautiful sceneries and makes them more attractive.
The city of Spietz is shown, views of the highway, river and railroad adjacent to this point are given, and the series is replete with panoramic views of mountain scenery.
A very entertaining and instructive subject. Excellent photographic quality throughout.
G. D. 1622. SCENES IN ALGERIA. Price, $53.64.
Approximate Length, 447 feet.
This is a very good reproduction of scenes in this, one of the most interesting countries in the world.
The series includes a review of the Arabian soldiery, with full dress, flags and banners. A review of the Goums, of South Alseria, Arabian Fantasia, Cooking the Machoui. An old Arab fountain is reproduced in full. The dance of the Ouled-Nails is rendered.
The entire subject is very interesting in every phase.
